    hair dryer or heat gun on the metal part of the stick just under the knob. An give a little twist and it should come off.

    new gaitor on and pop the knob back on and put it straight.

    Pull it firmly. Just make sure your head is not in the line of fire when it comes off

    Remove the whole lever and stick your knob end in a jug of boiling water well stick the gear knob in anyway, will come off easily then
